I'm 33 and remember fondly playing Super Mario Bros. in arcades in '86 or '87. What's even more mindblowing is that the time between SMB and SM64 is only 10 years while the time between SM64 and now is almost twice that!

Let's go the full distance.

Where's "down here"?

I know it says the game store, but the layout and the door/product labels are definitely Play N Trade. Managed one for 2 years, kinda scary how accurate the customers and applicants were. Every time a girl would come in, and have to literally proclaim she's nerdy cause she plays halo, I wanted to club someone. …

I definitely find myself in situations where I think "holy hell, this would be impossible if these guys were smart/controlled by people"

This compliments the article really well actually.

Put another notch in your belt, Jason, great read. Molyneux makes so much more sense after reading this.

Here it is. He sent this, and another one, which was signed by everyone on the 22Cans team.

Well, perhaps I'm spoiled. As someone from the UK, we have the BBC. Which is ad-free television because we pay a tv-license for it. So, no I don't have to 'get used to it', I just don't use that particular service if I feel like I'm getting a raw deal.

Honestly, I think the opposite.

I'm not suggesting it is a crime. I think laws making it illegal to draw a certain kind of picture and then jack off to it are thoughtcrime bullshit. Doesn't mean I want that shit in my games/movies/etc.

They're often sexualizing children, though. If it were about adults, you might have something, but when it's about children or childlike characters, there's something fucked up with that.

I agree in general about sex vs violence, but I think it's a little different when pre-pubescent children (or ancient shape-shifting dragons that just happen to look like prepubescent children) are sexualized.

Heh... Doc, you are one of my favorite commenters on here. Just wanted you to know. :)

Their marketing is absolutely the problem. You bring up good points. If they don't use Badass Samurai as a name, I think I'll use it for my next imaginary band name.

I heard they are shutting the internet off of last gen PC systems.

This happens a lot with these kinds of hybrid articles, I think a better way would be to just make a new article and link to the old one.

Let's be totally honest: the whole damn game was filler to begin with. ALL dungeons are the same! If you've gone through one, you've gone through them all. There's NEVER ANY surprises in the dungeons at all, not even anything simple like some kind of setpiece or mid-way events, it's just square floors filled with…

Multiplatform games should have their own catagory/list. These should be games i can only play on ps4. Most of those games are on last gen consoles so theres no point in getting the ps4 versions when you could just skip over to pc to get better res/graphics.
